How to Make Colonial Salad Dressing

  1. In a blender, combine 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Blend on high speed for 1 minute, or until completely smooth.
  2. Pour the blended mixture into a 2-quart saucepan.
  3. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and become translucent. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard. Stir well after each addition to ensure everything is incorporated.
  5. Continue cooking and stirring for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon smoothly.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This dressing will keep for up to 6 weeks in the refrigerator.
